News Flash……

Today, in Kentucky an earthquake of over 10.0 on the Richter Scale happened in Georgetown, the crack ran all the way from Kentucky to Moab, Utah. The Pilgrim found another 4.85 pickle burger! Here is the back story, Scott Diussa stopped off for late night beer at the Ruby Tuesdays next to our hotel, in friendly conversation some folks at the bar he was told about a great place in Georgetown to get a burger. He asked all the right questions, about how they prepared them, and they gave him all the right answers. The man and woman he was speaking with were very familiar with the place, in fact the young lady was Sheri Gruchow who helps run Fava’s. Fava’s is one of the oldest continuously run family restaurants in America. This great place started serving in 1910. The latest owners are Jeni & Howard Gruchow, and they are doing any previous owners proud. Everyone at our table, Berrie Smith, Scott Diussa, and myself, all had great meals.

This 1/2 pound monster was pre-
pared to perfection, medium,
juicy, toasted bun, and real
mayonaise, and Homemade
chips too….. So now we have a
East Coast and a West Coast
Champion! I would walk a
country mile for either Fava’s or
Milt’s burgers. They are slightly
different, but both great. If any
of the other folks that purport to
make great burgers took a lesson
form these guys, the world would
have a lot more great Cheese-
burgers……..

A great burger is always a joy, but
when the people that run the place is
are as great as the Gruchows and
B.C. at Milt’s you enjoy the meal all
the more.

The original restaurant had a bar with
old time red top stools. When they
took it out a friend of the restaurant
offered to paint the scene at the top
of the page. It just makes the place
along with and extensive collection of Mickey Mouse memorabilia.

I would like to thank Jeni, Howard and Sheri for their commitment to running such a great restaurant. Equally, I always love dropping by Milt’s Stop and Eat in Moab, Utah to visit with B.C. My hat goes off to all of you for doing such a great job for your customers.

It’s just to much fun, being the pilgrim, thank you Lord, it is a great life………………….
And I’m home tomorrow!
